Step 1. Confirm eligibility for RPL

You complete a quick eligibility check to confirm the qualification matches your real work experience, job role, tasks performed, and timeframe of experience.

Step 2. Choose the right qualification and licensing pathway

You select the exact qualification that aligns with your trade, industry outcomes, and any licensing goals. This matters because evidence must match the units inside that qualification.

Step 3. Enrolment and identity verification

You complete enrolment paperwork and provide identity documents. You also confirm your USI so the qualification can be correctly recorded and verified.

Step 4. Receive your unit checklist and evidence instructions

You are provided with a structured checklist showing each unit of competency and the type of evidence that can be used. This becomes your roadmap.

Step 5. Evidence collection and upload

You gather and upload evidence that proves you can perform the required tasks to standard. Common evidence includes:

Photos and videos of completed work

Reference letters from licensed supervisors or employers

Payslips, group certificates, invoices, ABN history

Job documents such as scopes, plans, SWMS, purchase orders

Tickets, licences, inductions, training records

Step 6. Evidence mapping to units of competency

Your evidence is mapped against the specific performance criteria, knowledge evidence, and assessment requirements for each unit. This is the technical step that links your real work to the qualification standards.

Step 7. Assessor review and validation checks

A qualified assessor reviews your evidence for authenticity, relevance, and sufficiency. They check whether the evidence is current enough, covers the full unit scope, and is clearly linked to you.

Step 8. Assessor questions or competency conversation if required

If anything is unclear, the assessor may request clarification through a short interview, phone call, or written questions. This is normal and helps confirm competency where evidence alone is not enough.

Step 9. Gap evidence or gap training if required

Your evidence is mapped against the specific performance criteria, knowledge evidence, and assessment requirements for each unit. This is the technical step that links your real work to the qualification standards.

Step 10. Final assessment outcome and qualification issued

A qualified assessor reviews your evidence for authenticity, relevance, and sufficiency. They check whether the evidence is current enough, covers the full unit scope, and is clearly linked to you.
